Mr. Home Improvement Himself Makes His Way to the Smart Financial Centre Stage

Nostalgic for the 1990s? If so, head to Smart Financial Center to see Mr. Home Improvement himself, Tim Allen. The actor, comedian, and 90s icon will be in Houston for one night of stand-up on Saturday, September 22nd.

Allen started his career as a comedian in 1975. On a dare from one of his friends, he participated in a comedy night at Mark Ridley's Comedy Castle in Royal Oak, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. While in Detroit, Allen began to get recognition for appearing in local television commercials and cable comedy shows, such as Gary Thison's Some Semblance of Sanity. Soon after, he moved to Los Angeles and became a regular performer at The Comedy Store. He began to do stand-up appearances on late-night talk shows and specials on record and film.

Allen has enjoyed a prolific career and entered households everywhere when he played Tim "The Toolman" Taylor on the ABC sitcom Home Improvement (1991–1999). In 2011, he started appearing as Mike Baxter on the ABC sitcom Last Man Standing (2011–2017). In 2018, Fox picked up Last Man Standing for a 7th season. He is also known as the voice of Buzz Lightyear in the mega-popular Toy Story franchise and for playing Scott Calvin and Santa Claus in The Santa Clause film trilogy (1994–2006).

With a new stand-up act that has been selling out venues in Las Vegas, filling crowds night after night in The Venetian and The Mirage since 2011, he is now taking his act on tour! Don’t miss Tim Allen as he humorously asks—and pokes fun at—life’s big questions. Due to the nature of the show, children under 18 are not permitted.
